MB&F Sherman 77.6001

Up for acquisition is an exceptionally rare piece of mechanical art: the MB&F x L’Epée 1839 “Sherman” in its most luxurious factory configuration—the Gilded Gold-Plated Edition.

Limited strictly to 200 pieces globally and now completely discontinued, this architectural desk clock is a brilliant collaboration between Max Büsser’s avant-garde design lab and Switzerland’s premier high-end clock manufacture.

Sherman functions as a mechanical character with a fully exposed horological brain. Visible beneath a hand-blown mineral glass skull is a premium, in-line L’Epée movement delivering a robust 8-day power reserve. Time is read via his gold-plated chest plate, while his articulated arms and functional rubber tank tracks give him an incredibly distinct personality on the desk. This gilded edition beautifully contrasts shimmering gold-plated movement bridges with a palladium-plated gear train, finished to the absolute highest standards of haute horlogerie.
